Satellites use a variety of imaging techniques, including visible light, infrared, and microwave imaging, to monitor weather patterns from space. These images help meteorologists track cloud cover, precipitation, temperature, and other weather features around the globe in almost real-time.

Describe three uses of satellites and space stations?
Satellites and space stations are used for navigation, collecting weather data, and research.
Can you Name 3 artificial Satellites of US?
There are several thousand. About 30 of them are GPS satellites, and another several dozen are geosynchronous communications satellites that provide TV programming and telephone service. There is the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station, and hundreds of weather satellites.
Is international space station closer to Earth than the weather satellites and GPS satellites in miles?
It depends on which satellite you are talking about. However YES, it is closer than any geostationary weather satellite and it is closer than any GPS satellites.
Are there more scientific or applications satellites?
Applications satellites, like weather satellites, communications satellites (TV, Cell phone, internet), military observation birds, reconnaissance satellites and other "useful" things predominate. Purely scientific satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope are in the minority.
What are the benefits of using gps vs regular weather satellites?
GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.
What were all the American space shuttles used for?
Well probably to get satellites in space for Internet. Or weather watches so the weather man can do his job. But I'm not sure about the American missions unless i have said them.
What is the purpose of sending satellites?
Communication, weather prediction, global monitoring, GPS, espionage, space exploration etc.
What are the bad things about space satellites?
1. they contain misleading information2. their signal can be interrupted by bad weather conditions
What is the purpose of having communication satellites?
The purpose for having communication satellites in space, is by providing telecommunication throughout the world. Communication satellites are mostly used for mobile phone signals, weather tracking, and broadcasting television programs.
What does a satellite do in space?
A satellite can do many things. There are weather, communication, navigation, and scientific satellites. Mostly the names will help you. The weather satellites give info about the weather of earth at all times. The communication satellites help get you communicating with other people like over phone or radio and television. Navigation satellites help sailors and other vehicle drivers navigate thoughout where they are going. Scientific satellites basically find out sciency things about the earth like radiation.
